UPDATE! Four is on sale NOW (https://tinyurl.com/kwlw3sn...)! It's only available on cartridge, which has a fancy individually stamped label, a wonderful new Memblers board (flashed by Sole Goose), a bug-free custom playing system by Khan and graphics and music by me! Stop reading this and go to the site right now!!!
The contest only has a few hours to go (it'll end tonight at 10pm EDT) so I'll leave the details up for those who missed my emails, tweets, FBs, and creepy texts.
CONTEST
By now you've been wondering, "
when in the hell is Bleep Bop Records going to release another album?" Well, rest assured we're almost done with our sixth album entitled:
Four. It's a confusing title, we know, but its meaning is deep: this album is made
using only four instruments - the four duty cycles of the NES chipset at full volume. Yep, we went bonkers and doubled-down on the stringent rules that govern NES chiptunes - with delightful results! I’ll bump the thread when the album drops (yep, just wrote "drops") BUT, in the meantime, log into your Bleep Bop Records account and check out a
preview of some of the songs! The album will only appear if you're logged in, so give it a whirl. Yes... now.
CONTEST
So we're giving back to our customers with this little contest we like to call:
THE REVIEW TRIUMVIRATE. Here's how it works:
- If you've purchased all three carts (Thornby, [Welcome to] Eville, and Silicon Statue), log in and leave a review for each. Not a one word review, something worth reading- like a feeling the album invoked, or who you shared it with, or why you were eating what you were when how where? You get the idea.
- Wait a little less than a month.
- ???
- Be the one who's name is randomly drawn and receive a free copy of Four.
Well, there you have it, an email that gives you some information about something that's going to happen sorta soon. Thank you for listening and good luck!
